The Newgy Robo-Pong 2040+ is an upgrade on The Newgy Robo-Pong 2040. This year, Newgy have brought to market a more extensive range of robots, due to demand, catering for different player skill set and affordability. The Newgy Ping-Pong 2040+ is a great robot that will give you an all-round practice and slight more advanced than the other models in the Robo-Pong 1-50+ and Robo-Pong 1040+ due to the controller it has attached to the robot.

The controller allows you to have flexibility over spin, speed oscillation and trajectory (how fast the balls fly at you when you’re playing with the robot). The Newgy Robo-Pong 2040+ gives you a good sense of a real world player, but in my opinion better, as it’s more consistent than a real player. The controller is conveniently on the player's side of the table, so you have good control over the ball speed, placement and Oscillation.

The 2040 Plus, comes with a recycling net system to capture your returns and allows for continuous play. The Robot has near real-world player experience in that it can deliver you a range of shots, including push, chop, serve, lob and fast loop.

Personally, if you want to practice particular shots, the robots gives excellent repetition and will improve your game no end. With no assembly required it’s easy to set-up and put away when you have finished the game.
